1t is claimed that by a new process
whitewood can be made so tough as to
require cold-chisel to split it. The
result is obtained by steaming the tim
ber and submitting it to end pressure,
technically upsetting" it, thus COM
pressing the cells and fibres into one
compact mass. 1t is the opinion OF
those who have experimental with the
process that the wood can be compress
ed rs per cent, and that some timber
which is now considered unfit for use in
such work as carriage building could be
made valuable by this means.-lndus-

Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, ILL.,,

Electric Bitters and seven boxes Buck

JUDGE RUTLAND AND THE
SCHOOL FUND.
Webster Tribune.

The State of Louisiana owes the
school fund a large amount of money
derived from the sale of sixteenth Sec
tIons. 1t seems that there were parts
of some Of these sections in every parish
that there was some dispute about or
were considerably tangled. Judge Rut-
land made a contract with the school
boards of many of the parishes to get
pay for these disputed parts, and was to
receive fifty per cent, for all amounts
that he saved to the several boards.
He saved to Webster parish $4,000,
half of which lie received. He made
81 ,2GO out of Ouachita parish, and large
amounts out of various other parishes.
Judge Rutland is said to be good man,
and the press does not seem to blame
him So much as it does somebody else.
He can hardly be censured for making
SO much, though it does seem he was
entirely too greedy. The people, of
course. had mnch rather seen the $40.
900 gone into the school fund than into
Judge Rutlanh's pockets, and naturally
enquire: Who is tn blame for this great
waste of the chldren's school money
We thought we had officers paid to
look after these matters, but Auditor
Steele and Superintendent Easton
come up with the excuse that the job
was too big for them to attend 10. The
nenple naturally enquire: How did
Judge Rutland attend to it so easily 7
There is something wrong somewhere.
We are not exactly prepared TO locate
the blame. The officers of our State
should not sit idly by and let a lawyer
gnbhle up 800 900 of the school fund.
This is nearly equal to the McEnery
land grab contract.

A GOOD THING FOR RELIGION.
Chicago Herald.

Gone thing Is mighty certain,n said a
conductor, the new Interstate law has
been q good thing for the churches.
It is rapidly increasing the number of
religions neople in the country. and if
the increase keeps on as it has began
there will be some surprising acces-
sions to the various churches along the
line of road. How do | make this out
Whv, in this way. The new law. or
rather the railroad Interpretation of it,
prohibits the issuance of passes to edi-
tors. politicians. favorites, etc. But it
doesn't prohibit the free passing of
the gospel. Yon'd be surprised if you
were to go through the train with me
and see the large number of ministers
we have riding with us nowadays.
Onlv to-day | had two ministers in the
smoking ear, and they were PLAYING

The Commissioners Appointed.

The president appointed the inter-
state commerce commissioners on
Tuesday. 1t is composed of the
following gentlemen: Thos. M.
Cooley, of Michigan, for six year
term; William B. Morrison, of Ill.,
nois, for five year term; Augustus
Schoonmaker, of New York, for
four year term; Aldace F. Walker, of
Vermont, for three year term;
Walter L. Bragg, of Alabama, for
two year term; all commissions to
date, as the law provides, from Jan.
Ist, 1857, with an annual salary OF
$500 each, SO that each commits
sioner now has az credit Of about
$500.
That the appointment has so long
been delayed greatly retards the
working of the law, and its opera
ton must be faulty for a time on
that account. 1t should be remem-
bered that the commission has a
gigantic duty before it, necessitating
that each one be familiar with cur
rent rates, and the changes demanded
should also be we'll considered. Had
they been selected Immediately upon
the passage of the act, their closest
application to the subject would
have been required unremittingly
from that time until April Ist for a
semi-qualifcation for the duties,
while as it is they can have but a
smattering of knowledge Of their
important duties. Mr.. Cooley is
the only member of the commission
who has had experience of this ma
ture. The great disappointment in
the announcement of the presidents
selections is that the great territory
in the United States west of the
Mississippi has not representation.
1t is admitted by all that the great
Northwest and West will suffer
from the passage of the bill by rea-
son of the fact that through rates
will be increased, so that additional
to the ordinary consideration to
which the vast country is entitled, a
commissioner familiar with its needs
and interests should have been Sc,
lected from the West. There were
plenty of good and able men willing
to serve, and had so applied, but the
president, as his custom is, has for
gotten or ignored all such claims
The fact that it is largely agricul-
tural, which he has heretofore treated
with so much contempt, should have
secured consideration of her claims,
Altogether the commission is not
calculated to inspire confidence tina,
the law will be put to its best &C.
count. Cooley and Walker are
from the republican party, while
Morrison, Bragg and Schoonmaker
are children of the presidents polit.
ical household.

JUDGE NoURsE, of Des Moines,
who has been such conspicuous adj
vocate OF the temperance reform has
forsaken the cause and appeared
with the notorious Lehman as at
torney for the proprietors of the big
distillery. 1t is great disappoint-
ment to the people of the state that
while he has been a foremost advo-
cate of temperance he has as circum.
stances indicate been retained by the
distillery folks. The loss of conf
dence in a public man has grea,
influence in forming the usually
too harsh judgment of humanity in
general.

Prosperous Red Men.

The local tribe of Improved Red
Men is in a most prosperous condi-
ton, both financially and numeric-
ally. They have purchased the
Newmeyer building on Washing
ington street, and will move it to
the lot south of its present location
and refit and furnish it for a wig
wan. They also have an orchestra
within the organization, to which
has recently been added a bass viol.
The lodge now contains about a
hundred members and applicantions
for membership keep coming in. 1t
is at present one of the most pros
porous of the seventeen lodges in
the city, and judging from its enter
prising management its future is very
promising.
